We are pleased to announce, that the band Bohemian Rogue with their entry 'Ode to Moffs' where voted the winners of the NOOSA FM21 Summers Song Writing Competition.

And what a night the finalists concert was. Held at the J, a near packed concert hall of happy revellers where entertained by an exciting and diverse selection of local music.

The night started out with a tradition welcome to country from representatives the Gubbi Gubbi people. This included an entertaining and informative introduction to local indigenous culture and traditional perspectives, which was enjoyed by a very appreciative audience.

The evening was ably hosted by two of our NOOSA FM presenters, Therase Burke and Chris Lofven, who kept us entertained with their banter, especially during changeovers. The superlatives to describe the evening are endless with pretty well all of the 'fantastic night' boxes being ticked.

The other awards on the night where: 2nd Place going to the family band First Bay and their song 'In Your Bones', and3rd Place went to Stellerize with her composition, 'Be Your Babe'. There was also an Encouragement Award given out to 11 year old Indigo Walsh and her entry 'When The Sun Ain't Out'.

Still plenty of room for everyone, including a visit by a certain "man in red" on a very exciting "sleigh"!! ;)
See you all on Sunday... Rain, Snow or Shine!

In 2015 Noosa 101.3 fm celebrated 20 years on-air. A lot of airwaves have passed since then and on Thursday 7th May 2015 on our 20th anniversary, presenters and members both past and present, celebrated a special on-air event including prizes and giveaways for listeners.

To round the our celebrations, our volunteers, along with sponsors family and friends, had a birthday bash next door at 'The J' here in Noosa Junction.

And Chris 'Magic Bus' Lofven once again brought his trusty video camera along to record a great night...
